20140086954 | USE OF BLOOD OR TISSUE BACTERIOME FOR PREDICTION, DIAGNOSIS AND PREVENTION OF METABOLIC DISEASES AND THEIR CARDIOVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS - The present invention relates to the use of the bacterial flora for vaccine development, identification of therapeutic targets and prediction and/or diagnosis of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, overweight and obesity, and their cardiovascular complications. In particular, the present invention provides immunogenic or vaccinal composition for preventing metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications using attenuated or inactivated bacterial flora, or antigens derived thereof. The present invention also provides methods for identifying prognostic markers for metabolic diseases onset and cardiovascular complications and methods for in vitro prognosis of metabolic diseases and cardiovascular complications using bacterial flora. | 03-27-2014 |

20140186829 | METHOD FOR PREDICTING INSULINOPENIC TYPE 2 DIABETES - The present invention relates to an in vitro method, for predicting a risk of onset of type 2 diabetes in a subject, which method comprises the steps of: a) measuring the concentration of bacterial 16S rDNA in a biological sample of said subject; and b) comparing said measured concentration of bacterial 16S rDNA to a threshold level; wherein a measured concentration of bacterial 16S rDNA higher than the threshold level is indicative of an increased risk of onset of type 2 diabetes in the subject, and a measured concentration of bacterial 16S rDNA lower than the threshold level is indicative of a decreased risk of onset of type 2 diabetes in the subject. | 07-03-2014 |

20110037189 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BLOW-MOLDING CONTAINERS - The method and the device are used for blow-molding containers. A preform made of a thermoplastic material is first subject to a thermal conditioning operation along a transport path in the region of a heating section. Thereafter, the preform is formed into the container inside a blowing mold by applying blowing pressure. While the preform is shaped into the container, at least one parameter ( | 02-17-2011 |

20110260350 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BLOW-MOLDING CONTAINERS - A method and an apparatus for blow-molding containers are disclosed. A parison made of a thermoplastic material is first subjected to a thermal treatment in the zone of a heating section along a conveying path. The parison is then shaped into the container within a blow mold under the effect of a blowing pressure. Once the container has been blow-molded, a wall thickness is measured on at least one vertical level of the container. A preset value for the wall thickness is fed to a controller as a desired value, and the measured wall thickness is fed thereto as an actual value. The controller presets the quantity of at least one parameter influencing the blowing process in accordance with a difference between the desired value and the actual value. More specifically, the controller presets the quantity of at least one parameter influencing the supply of blowing gas. The quantity of the parameter is preset on the basis of a blowing process simulation model implemented in the controller. | 10-27-2011 |
20120267832 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BLOW-MOLDING CONTAINERS - The invention relates to a method and a device for blow-molding containers. A preform produced of a thermoplastic material is subjected to a thermal conditioning process along a transport path in the region of a heating section. The preform is then shaped in a blow mold by the effect of a blowing pressure to give the container. The preform is subjected to a temperature profile at least along part of its transport path in the region of the heating section, said temperature profile being generated by at least one tubular radiation heater. The temperature profile extends in a longitudinal direction of the preform. The radiation emitted by the radiation heater is emitted in different spatial directions with different intensities by a heating device positioning the radiation heater. | 10-25-2012 |
20120299225 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BLOW-MOLDING CONTAINERS - The invention relates to a method and device used to blow-mold containers. After thermal conditioning, a preform is shaped into the container inside a blow mold by the effect of blowing pressure. Required blowing gas is introduced into an interior of the preform through a connecting element. After the blow-molding, a purging gas is conducted through the interior of the container. A plurality of blowing stations are used, and, for at least one of the blowing stations, at least part of the required amount of the purging gas is stored in a storage volume associated only with said blowing station. | 11-29-2012 |

20130221131 | SANITARY FITTING - A sanitary fitting having an outlet contains an outlet end which is formed in a substantially tubular manner. In this tubular end there is arranged a shut-off valve having a cartridge, water flowing through the centre of said shut-off valve. A rotary shaft serves to rotate and thus actuate the valve cartridge. The rotary shaft is arranged and mounted inside a mounting sleeve which contains an outlet element at its outlet-side end. An external sleeve, which forms a flush continuation of the fitting housing, serves to rotate the rotary shaft. The sleeve is connected to the rotary shaft by a radial pin which engages through an arcuate slot that extends in the circumferential direction. When the sleeve is rotated, the position and setting of the outlet element remains the same. | 08-29-2013 |

20080245236 | SYSTEM COMPRISING A BEVERAGE MACHINE AND COMPRISING PORTION CAPSULES - In a system comprising a beverage machine and comprising portion capsules of at least two different types which each contain a beverage substance, portion capsules of different types are provided with colour codings which differ from one another. The beverage machine is designed to prepare beverages, in particular to brew hot coffee beverages, by means of the portion capsules and has a pressurized-water device, a capsule holder which is provided to accommodate a portion capsule, and a control means. The beverage machine also contains a colour-identification device which is designed to detect the colour coding of a portion capsule which is to be or is inserted into the capsule holder and to select a program, in the control means, for operating the beverage machine, which program is associated with this colour coding. | 10-09-2008 |
